depicts the effect of an inhibitor on the initial velocity (Vo) of an enzyme at different substrate concentrations [S] (with both values plotted as reciprocals and the line extrapolated to negative values of [S]). Indicate whether the statements below are true or false:

The KM values for the reaction of chymotrypsin with two different substrates are given in the table below. Considering this information, which substrate has the lower apparent affinity for the enzyme? Which substrate is likely to give a lower value for Vmax? Substrate N-acetylvaline ethyl ester N-acetyltyrosine ethyl ester KM (M) 8.8 X 10-² 6.6 X 10-4 N-acetylvaline ethyl ester has the lower apparent affinity for the enzyme; it will also likely to give a lower Vmax: N-acetyltyrosine ethyl ester has the lower apparent affinity for the enzyme; it will also likely to give the lower V₁ max. N-acetylvaline ethyl ester has the lower apparent affinity for the enzyme; N- acetyltyrosine ethyl ester is likely to give the lower Vmax: N-acetyltyrosine ethyl ester has the lower apparent affinity for the enzyme; N- acetylvaline will likely to give the lower Vmax. None of the above statements are correct.

a particular enzyme catalyzes a single reactant S to a single product P, following michaelis-menten kinetics rp=(VmaxCs) / (Km + Cs) 1. A reaction with this enzyme is carried out at very low substrate concentrations. Draw and label a curve on the plot that describes the reaction kinetics under those conditions.

The Michaelis-Menten rate equation for reversible mixed inhibition is written as Vo = Vmax [S] aKm + a' [S] where Vo is initial velocity, Vmax is maximum velocity, [S] is substrate concentration, a represents the effect of the inhibitor bound to free enzyme (E), a' represents the effect of the inhibitor bound to the enzyme-substrate complex (ES), and Km is the Michaelis constant that represents the [S] at which the reaction reaches/Vm Vmax 2α' Derive an expression for the effect of a reversible inhibitor on apparent Km from the previous equation. Use the alphabet tab to enter a and the basic tab to enter the prime sign in your answer. = Apparent, or observed, Km is equivalent to the [S] at which Vo max. apparent Km =
